A photograph of a temple-style stage with a golden throne backdrop and red drapes, decorated with garlands of yellow marigolds, red flowers and white jasmine. Two large gilded utsava murti deities stand in the foreground, both heavily adorned with jewelled crowns, necklaces and garlands; the left figure wears an orange turban and holds a conch-like hand, the right is adorned in jewels with a smaller figure in orange and purple garments beside it. Behind them, a man in an orange robe with rudraksha beads and gold chains sits with arms crossed in front of the throne, with white and red tilak on his forehead.

A photograph of a man standing barefoot on a stage at the left, smiling and raising his right hand in a greeting. He wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a gold ceremonial necklace, and long garlands of red, yellow, purple and white flowers. Beside him stands a golden pair of horses on a red-draped pedestal. Behind them, two golden metal deity murtis are richly adorned with multicoloured flower garlands, gold crowns, jewelled necklaces and yellow silk drapery, with a pink backdrop and brass oil lamps framing the scene. The man shows distinctive visible cues including a rudraksha-style garland and ceremonial gold necklace, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity.

A standing man in saffron-orange robes with a gold-striped wrap and a rudraksha mala stands at the left, smiling and raising one hand in greeting. Beside him are three decorated deity murtis on a dark maroon backdrop with a gold arched frame: a small standing figure wearing a gold crown and white dhoti, and two larger seated murtis adorned with thick garlands of red, yellow, purple and white flowers and layered silver-white necklaces. The murtis sit on a golden throne-like peetha behind gold curtains. The scene looks like a temple or ashram worship setting.

A photograph inside a temple shrine decorated with flower garlands in yellow, white and red. A smiling man with long dark hair, a red bindi and a saffron-orange robe with gold border stands at left, wearing a white-and-red jasmine garland and a gold chain. Behind him are two large metal deity murtis with ornate crowns and jewelled necklaces, one holding a raised hand, seated beside a dark stone shivalingam with a green leaf. In front is a brass prabhavali arch and a small brass deity murti surrounded by yellow and red garlands. Persons: the standing man is the only physical person visible.

A standing man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, with a long rudraksha mala and gold bangles, gestures with his right hand beside three decorated murti figures. Two larger metal deity figures seated on a silver-trimmed throne with a gold crown, ornate necklaces and garlands of yellow, red and purple flowers; the right figure wears a green and red sari. A smaller standing child-sized deity figure with a gold crown and white dhoti is garlanded in the centre. Dark red velvet curtains and a gold-patterned backdrop frame the scene, with a gold peetha chair at the left edge.
